Data source

The data for this month are from the OMI instrument
(KNMI
/
NASA)
onboard the
Aura
satellite. They are the
OMTO3d
that have been processed in a manner similar to the
TOMS
data from earlier years.

Missing areas (bad orbits and polar night) are filled from
an atmospheric model. The
GEOS-5 FP
data are produced by the Goddard Earth Observing System Model,
Version 5. This is a system of models integrated using the Earth
System Modeling Framework (ESMF). The GEOS-5 DAS integrates the
GEOS-5 AGCM with the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI)
atmospheric analysis developed jointly with NOAA/NCEP/EMC.
